Just getting around to my coffee. Thanks for the thread. Absolutely gorgeous weather here, except for the quasi tornado that went through Wednesday night. We had no power for almost a day. Sweated it out here as I kept adding ice to the fridge and freezer - all those garden veggies from this year but we are fine. Not much going on in the garden except for brussel sprouts and swiss chard, a few peppers and maybe if I am lucky a couple of more cukes. I started alfalfa sprouting which I do in the cold weather. This years garden has really helped me get back in shape. Now if I can just keep active through this next winter!

Saturday - I raided the garden yesterday so I have enough tomatoes for a batch of plain Tomato Juice. With that I will make Tomato Jelly. I need to start pulling the spent plants in the garden and re-mulching everything for the winter. If I start now, it’ll be done by the time it NEEDS to be done. Still an abundance of KALE, so I’ll be dealing with that soon, but it keeps so well in the garden that it’s never a rush.

I also have to mow. I got started on it yesterday. It’s still too wet outside, so around 11am I should be able to hit it. :)

Beau’s Foster Son is here to do some more house painting this weekend. Yay! I’ll post a picture later of more progress. Happy, Happy! :)
